Krt2 - keratin 2 Gene

Also Known as Kb2; CK 2e

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 406228

Summary

Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including keratinocyte activation; keratinocyte migration; and keratinocyte proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within intermediate filament organization and keratinocyte development. Predicted to be located in cornified envelope and keratin filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and ichthyosis. Orthologous to human KRT2 (keratin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
